Hydrogen cars? No, this is a lot more interesting. I’ve had in mind that there was a possibility for us to use permanent magnets as a source of power that would be clean and would cost almost nothing to produce. I’ve been thinking about the various prototypes that could be created and here’s what have been published lately.

The Perendev magnet motor is claimed to be driven soley by permanent magnets in a particular configuration that includes proper shielding or directing of the magnetic field. The output claimed for the scalable device’s present configuration is 20 kW, attached to a generator. Perendev claims that the unit has been tested in independent laboratories and that no diminution of magnet strength is observed over time.

Governments like to suppress information from the public on free energy technologies and like us to belive there could be an energy shortage in the future to generate more money now.Is this what our government is doing all because of the amount of coal we have?
The challenge for the energy sector is to optimize the development and use of all sources of energy, and drive commercialization of new and emerging sources through successful businessâ€”while continuing to meet the world’s growing energy demands efficiently and with minimal environmental impact.

We certainly do have a great deal of coal in the United States, but I seriously question whether “our government” is suppressing any reliable information — or any unreliable information, for that matter — in order to promote additional use of coal, or for any other motive.

Looking for conspiracy is a well-known time-waster. People who come up with very innovative ideas tend to be brilliant bi-polar types, and bi-polar people, in their extreme moods on either end of the emotional spectrum, will too often interpret any opposition, criticism or argument in a paranoid fashion. This has derailed lots of very good ideas. The people with the ideas will focus on confronting the opposition instead of promoting the ideas.

As far as the power potential of natural magnets is concerned, I suspect that what “magnetic motors” actually demonstrate are very efficient systems for the preservation of momentum, much on the order of a Foucault pendulum or one of those “400 day clocks” we used to see so many of about fifty years ago. Once you get them started, they seem to be able to run on their own, with no fuel or power input, for an unlimited time. Attaching any kind of a load quickly brings them to a stop.

If any of these magnetic motors do run on their own, as you’ve mentioned they might, then as long as they’re running against the frictional forces of a bearing or air drag, they’re under a very slight load; otherwise, we know that they’d slow to a stop, much as a simple flywheel does. Therefore, they must overcome those frictional losses to be able to keep on running. The problem, as you have implied, is that said motors have to be developed further with far smaller tolerances and more powerful permanent magnets to perform practical tasks. But the proof of principle is there as long as they’re overcoming the losses of friction.
